Kerry managed to control the urge to make Nikki forget the book after the girl had leaned over a little. Nikki was aware that this had made the shirt rise again, exposing even more of her butt. She grabbed the book and slowly shuffled back over to her. Both smiled again before Nikki sat down beside Kerry. Nikki smirked as she caught her girlfriend ogling her the second time, focusing on her legs now. She enjoyed the "caught like a deer in the headlights" expression. Kerry let out another gulp as the fingers on her left hand were suddenly moving across Nikki's right leg with Nikki's help. They had started just above the knee and stopped when they reached the hem of the shirt that Nikki was currently wearing. Nikki let Kerry break the hold she had on the other and joined her as they reclined against the pillows on the bed. Then Kerry started reading to Nikki.
A few hours later, Nikki's bedroom
Kerry was watching TV from her spot on the bed when she heard the sound of a garage door opening and a car pulling in. She realized that they were still in just a shirt and underwear. And Nikki's left hand was still resting on her stomach. The older girl had successfully pleaded for Kerry to let her pull up Kerry's shirt to just under her chest and place her left hand on the now exposed stomach. The puppy dog look alone did the trick. The soft pleading just tempted her to forget the book and start a full fledged make out. She carefully got out of bed, so she wouldn't wake the sleeping girl. She almost jumped into her pants as time before the eventual knock was quickly slipping away. She was able to swiftly get Nikki's pants on her. She heard the knock as she finished buttoning and zipping them up.
"Can we come in?" Diane asked.
"Yes, but don't be too loud," Kerry requested as she rested Nikki's head on her left shoulder.
"Why?" John questioned this time.
"You'll see," Kerry announced softly as the door opened.
"What's going…Aw," Diane spoke softly as she and John saw both girls fully dressed on the bed while Nikki was asleep with her head on Kerry's left shoulder and a smile on their faces, "How long has my daughter been that way, and what made her fall asleep?"
"About fifteen minutes and this," Kerry confirmed as she held up the book.
"But that shouldn't have put her asleep. How far along did you get?"
"I was about to start the final chapter when I noticed she had fallen asleep."
"What did you do before that?" John inquired a little suspiciously
"Well, when we got here, we were soaked from the rain. So we quickly got dried off, and I tried on all of the things we got earlier at the mall. Then we had a short talk. We talked about how she thought I looked in the clothes and why she hadn't read the book yet. She said things had kept coming up. The last thing we talked about was the death of her grandparents. During an explanation of what happened to them, she began to cry. Then she began to bring up my dad's death accidentally. She cried more because of what she thought I was probably feeling.
We talked a little bit more before we started reading the book. And like I already said, she fell asleep before I started reading the final chapter."
"Are you hungry?" Both of them quizzed her softly, so Nikki wouldn't wake up.
"Not at the moment, maybe in a few hours."
"Would you like to join us?" Diane offered.
"If you don't mind, I would. Uh, what's for dinner?"
"We were thinking pasta. John and Nikki like it a little spicy. I hope you don't mind that."
"No, I don't mind."
"Good, would you like John to show you how he makes it? It's one of Nikki's favorites. And who knows, maybe it will come in handy for you to know that in the future."
"Sure, I'll be down in a bit."
They shared a smile before John and Diane left the room.
Another few hours later, Nikki's bedroom
Nikki awoke and felt slight panic when she found out that she was alone. She wondered how long she'd been asleep and if Kerry was still there or not. She checked herself out in the mirror and noticed that while she slept, Kerry put her pants back on. After making sure she looked alright, she headed downstairs while calling out Kerry's name. It worried her at first. Then she heard noise coming from the kitchen. She called out once more and became worried again when she got no reply. Thoughts of what could have happened raced through her head, and not all of them were good.
"Hi, sweetie," Diane greeted casually as the three of them watched Nikki slowly enter the room.
"Did you get a good rest?" Kerry said as they could see that Nikki was too happy that Kerry was still there to be embarrassed about being called 'sweetie' by her mom.
"Uh, yeah." Great, she didn't leave. As long as she didn't leave, it doesn't bother me that my mom called me 'sweetie'. "How long had I been asleep and when did they get home?"
"About two hours and fifteen minutes. They got home about fifteen minutes after you conked out."
"Sorry about that. You could have woken me up. How far did we get before I did that and what have you been doing since then?"
"I was about to read the final chapter when I saw that you had fallen asleep. I watched TV for most of the time after that. Then I came downstairs, so your dad…"
"Call me John, Kerry."
"I mean John could teach me how to make that spicy pasta that you and he like so much."
"Really?" Nikki wondered as her mouth began to water at the sight of the food.
She leaned in to kiss her girlfriend on the cheek before remembering that they weren't alone.
"It's ok. You can kiss me in front of them, as long as it's on the cheek."
Nikki glanced at her parents, who nodded along with the redhead.
"Ok," the older girl stated before planting a brief kiss on the shorter girl's left cheek, "How soon before it's ready?"
"About five minutes, so sit down at the table. Before you ask, yes, my family knows that I'm here and that your dad…I mean John and Diane invited me to dinner."
"Great."
Five minutes later, they began eating. There was some discussion between bites of food. Kerry had also surprised her by placing her left hand on Nikki's leg. They had managed to be discreet enough that John and Diane had no idea what Kerry was doing. They finished up and excused themselves with the need to finish reading the book as the reason. John and Diane watched with a smile as the girls put their glasses, plates, and silverware in the dishwasher before leaving the room. When they got through with that, both of them decided that Nikki should take her home.
Around 7:30 PM, outside Kerry's house.
The couple remained silent for the entire trip to the redhead's house and a few minutes after that. Neither was exactly sure what to say after the day they had.
"Kerry, I'm…," Nikki started as she chose to break the silence but paused to think of what to say next.
"What? Sorry that you fell asleep on me and bringing up my dad when you weren't sure what my current feelings were about it?"
"Yeah, I didn't want to fall asleep, honestly. "
"I know."
"So…uh…how did you get my pants back on without waking me?"
"Your mom helped," the redhead teased. At the sight of fear, Kerry smirked and added, "I'm kidding. I guess I was just lucky. Besides, a few good things came out of my time at your house today."
"What's that?"
"That my girlfriend thinks I can look good in anything, we can do more than just make out on your bed, and I got to see you sleep like an angel again. Like I did a few times in New York," Kerry explained before pausing at Nikki blushing, "And I just made my girlfriend blush, which doesn't happen too often. I mean that I was the one that was able to make you blush. Finally, I got to make you one of your favorite meals. How did I do with that?"
"It was just as delicious as when either I or my dad make it. Do you really want to call it a night? It's still pretty early."
"Well, I guess you could come inside. You haven't seen what 'The Starry Night' print looks like on my bedroom wall."
"Sure," Nikki agreed as she got out of the car at the same time as Kerry. When they both started walking up to the front door, Nikki spoke again, "Hey, where is everybody? All the lights are off."
"When I called home to let them know I was staying for dinner, my mom said they were all going out to the movies."
"To different movies or the same one."
"All the same one, believe it or not."
"Was that your mom's idea?"
"Actually, it was Bridget's. Since our dad's death and graduating from high school, she's been up for spending more time with the family."
"That's sweet." That might be sweet, but it can't be the only reason she suggested it.
As they entered the darkened house, Kerry turned on the lights and stepped aside to let Nikki in. Nikki jumped slightly at the sound of the door closing. She hoped the smile was able to cover the real reason she did that. Kerry sensed the reason and chose not to comment at how she was getting the chance to make her girlfriend nervous. This feeling and the fact that they were alone started putting more thoughts in her head.
"So…Uh, how long are they going to be gone?"
"Well, from the note we have about two hours before they get home."
"Oh…Ok…Cool," Nikki responded and continued when Kerry looked at her with a slightly raised eyebrow, "I mean about them going to the movies together."
"We can go upstairs now if you want," Kerry suggested as Nikki tried harder to hide the anxiety that was coming out.
"Alright," Nikki almost whispered as Kerry grabbed her hand and led her to the bedroom.
Less than a minute later, Bridget and Kerry's bedroom
They entered to find a slightly messy room. Kerry quickly picked up some clothes off and around her bed.
"Wait here, I'm just going to run some of these clothes down to the basement.
"Sure," the older girl said casually as the other girl left the room.
She scanned around the room just as casually. Suddenly, she noticed the top drawer of a dresser that definitely belonged to Bridget slightly open. She didn't have to look to know what was in it. She marched over and closed it before Kerry could accuse her of spying. Nikki didn't need to do that because she knew from the first day she really noticed Bridget that the blonde was a frequent thong girl. And even though she loved the redhead, the memory of that day brought a smile to her face.
"I hope I wasn't gone too long."
"No, I've just been trying to see if there have been any changes since I was up here the last time, which was around a year ago," Nikki described as the lyrics to Sisqo's "Thong Song" played in her head.
"Ok," Kerry sighed as she joined Nikki on her bed.
"But you should tell Bridget to make sure that she closes every drawer of her dresser all the way."
"I can't believe you went through my sister's dresser."
"I didn't. The top drawer was open, so I closed it. I didn't need to look to know that it was most likely her underwear and sock drawer or that she's a thong girl."
"How did you know that?" the redhead blurted before covering her mouth with her right hand.
"From the first day I saw her getting changed for gym class."
"Could we not talk about my sister's underwear preferences?"
"Ok. The p-picture l-looks g-great th-there," Kerry's guest stuttered at seeing the redhead join her; clearly showing how nervous she was before turning to look at the famous print.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"Do you realize that the last time I was up here was when I told you I was gay and the first t-time I k-kissed you?"
"Yes."
"Then you shouldn't have to ask. That was one of the most important moments in my life. It was the second most convincing moment that I was gay. And I don't want anything to ruin how special that is."
"I get that. So you're saying that if I wanted to do something, you would turn me down?"
"Wh-What are y-you s-saying, Beautiful?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Kerry implied and kept going as the other girl's nervousness turned into slight fear, "I'm saying that after everything we've done, making love or having sex on my bed isn't one of them. We have plenty of time."
"B-But earlier you said that you didn't want to do anything like that."
"That was then, this is now. So what do you say?"
"If you honestly want to, then yes."
"I do," the redhead assured before removing her shirt and helping her girlfriend with hers.
Both girls stood up and removed of the rest of their clothes. As Nikki was taking off the last piece, Kerry climbed under the covers. Nikki quickly joined her and was pinned to the bed by Kerry. Nikki watched quietly as Kerry resumed the kissing. As the redhead moved to the neck while her hands caressed the skin below her, Nikki began to moan. It only got louder as they continued. She shrieked in pleasure when she reached her peak. When it was her turn, she did everything the redhead had done, plus what Kerry considered "too weird" to do more than once.
After both girls were satisfied, they saw that each had worked up a sweat and needed to wash it off. Kerry thought Nikki would take this opportunity to try and shower with her. She was pleasantly surprised when Nikki asked if she could go first while the redhead waited patiently for her. Kerry let her go first and held in a gasp as the other didn't even bother to cover up for the trip to the bathroom or close the bathroom door all the way. Nikki quickly showered, left the bathroom in nothing but a towel, and closed the door after Kerry walked in so her girlfriend could have some privacy. She finished drying herself, put her underwear on, and climbed back under the covers.
"What do you think you're doing?" Kerry gasped as she saw most of Nikki's clothes were still on the floor."
"I think I'm lying in my girlfriend's bed in just underwear while she stands there in her underwear and asks what I'm doing," Nikki remarked as she finished with a smirk.
"Don't you think we should get completely dressed?"
"We have about an hour until they're supposed to get home. It gives us time for the post sex/making love cuddling and talk about our futures."
"But what if we get too comfortable and fall asleep?"
"I'm not tired enough to fall asleep, and we can leave the door open just enough to hear them coming home. Are you tired enough that you could fall asleep if we lie down like that for too long?"
"Maybe."
"Well, I'll wake you up if you fall asleep."
"You promise."
"I promise."
Kerry then slid under the covers beside Nikki. She didn't resist when she was pulled up against the other girl. They began to talk about college for a few minutes before Kerry cautiously brought up the topic of whether or not Nikki had ever thought about marriage and kids since becoming exclusive with her. Nikki had hesitantly revealed that it had crossed her mind once but didn't want to think about it right now. Kerry calmed her when she told Nikki that she had also thought about it once. They both found out that they shared the same thoughts.
The thought of marriage scared them a little bit, but it wasn't totally out of the question. Neither would feel obligated to change her name due to some tradition. As for kids, they both thought they would want one of both. Who would have them was up for further debate. They had even gone so far as to think about what they would call them. Kerry's heart almost melted when Nikki told her she would want to name the boy, Paul. The girl's name was another thing still up for debate. However, they decided whichever mom had the kid, they would take that last name. So the possibility that one would have the last name Alcott while the other had Hennessy was there too.
Shortly after that had been discussed, Kerry fell asleep. Even though Nikki had been confident she could stay awake, she followed the redhead into peaceful slumber. They would find out soon that they would be caught. Fortunately, it would be the person they hoped it would be if the situation ever came up.
About thirty minutes later, the Hennessy driveway
"It looks like Kerry is home. Unless someone left the lights on," Jim said as he got out of the car and began walking to the back door.
"Do you think Nikki is here too?" Rory commented as he slowly got of the car.
"I don't know. I didn't see her car," Cate answered, "Did any of you see it?"
"I didn't," CJ replied confidently as the other men nodded in agreement.
"I didn't either," Bridget lied successfully. Am I really the only one who saw her car? I better help them out. They might need it. She opened the back door and as soon as she stepped inside, she called out, "KERRY, WE'RE HOME!"
"You didn't need to shout, Bridget," Cate advised her.
"Sorry, I'll go see what she's doing." I bet they're going to owe me for this one.
"Good, and tell her to come downstairs. She was cooking for Nikki. I want to see how well it turned out."
"Sure," the blonde complied before walking up the stairs, making sure her steps got louder the closer she got.
Meanwhile, the girls' bedroom
Kerry was still sleeping peacefully, as Nikki woke up and realized Kerry would be pissed if she didn't wake her up instantly. She got out of bed and panicked when she heard the shout from the blonde.
"Beautiful, wake up. They just got home," Nikki admitted as she shook the redhead almost violently.
"What!" Kerry gasped as she jumped out of bed and saw that both were still only in underwear, "I thought you were going to wake me up?"
"Well, technically I did. Just not when I should have."
"Why are you just now waking me up?" Kerry muttered angrily and didn't even wait for a reply, "You fell asleep, didn't you?"
"I guess I did, I'm s-sorry," Nikki apologized as they rushed to get dressed and moved even faster at hearing footsteps getting closer and louder by the second.
"You're going to pay dearly if we get caught by someone other than Bridget."
Nikki's fear returned as they heard the door open. They saw that they were completely dressed and gave a sigh of relief. However, they were unaware that they had the wrong shirts on.
"Hi, Bridget, how was the movie? I was just getting ready to leave."
"Apparently not as exciting as what went on here, and I'm not surprised you'd use that excuse."
"What are you talking about and what excuse?" Nikki exclaimed as both girls were thankful that Kerry had successfully managed to kick the towels under her bed as her sister entered the room.
"The question about the movie and the excuse about how you were leaving to try and hide that you two had sex in Kerry's bed."
"What makes you think we had sex in my bed?"
"Well, let's see. First, your bed is messier than it was before I left. Second, the dirty clothes are gone. Third, you're wearing each other's shirts. Fourth, your girlfriend looks more nervous then when she came to pick you up for your senior prom. Fifth and finally, Nikki's zipper isn't up."
"That doesn't mean we had sex. Maybe I wanted to clean up my side of the room, so my girlfriend won't think I'm a slob. And we wanted to see what we looked like in each other's shirts," Kerry explained as Nikki zipped up her pants.
"Oh please. I don't think she'd care either way. And if it was just a simple trying on of each other's shirts, she would have remembered to zip up her pants and wouldn't be this nervous. Just admit it, I don't care and won't tell the rest of them."
"Ok, fine we did," Nikki confessed while Kerry accidentally shouted at the older girl.
"NIKKI, you didn't have to tell her. You could have lied."
"She knows we've had sex before, so why are you denying it now?"
"You're right, ok," Kerry told her before turning to her sister, "Ok, Bridget, we did. Now keep your promise, ok?"
"Sure. By the way, Mom wants you to come down and tell us how it went," Bridget confirmed as she saw the shocked reaction from her sister.
"Bridget!"
"Relax, Mom meant about how you cooked for Nikki."
"Oh," Kerry murmured as Nikki sighed happily.
Bridget teased her sister, "She must be pretty good if she got you to do it again."
"Bridget!" Kerry repeated.
"I am," Nikki bragged as she saw the blonde laugh and the redhead blush. She smirked for a second before partly joking, "If this was just a fling, and I could get you into bed, too, you would find out how good."
"N-Nikki, please don't say anything else right now."
"Ok," Nikki consented.
"You two might want to change your shirts before you come down," Bridget reminded them as she left the room and closed the door.
The girls did exactly that immediately after the door was closed. As the girls were changing, they heard Bridget talking to the family.
"I thought you were going to get Kerry to come down? What were you doing up there?" Cate declared.
"Kerry was showing me the clothes she got for the trip. Oh, and Nikki is here too," Bridget divulged the girls made their way down the stairs.
"What are you doing here?" CJ directed to their guest.
"I was just leaving."
"So, how did the cooking go?" Cate questioned the couple that was now standing beside Bridget.
"It was delicious. Just like how my dad and I make it."
"Maybe you could make it for us some time," Rory suggested with a smile.
"Maybe," Kerry asserted before smiling back at him.
"So did Kerry get enough for the trip?"
"Yes, Ms. Hennessy, and she looks beautiful in everything," Nikki gushed before blushing at all of the smiles she got.
"Call me Cate."
"Ok, Cate. She has enough for a one week trip. Well, goodnight, everybody."
"Hold up, I'll walk you to your car," Kerry offered
"No need, I think I can find it," Nikki assured her before giggling.
"I need to ask you something."
"What is it you need to ask Nikki?" Rory butted in as Kerry glared at him.
"It's trip related, so it's none of your concern," the redhead warned before leaving the house with her girlfriend and closing the door.
